Its not aged well

3 albums on the bounce that I will genuinely never listen to again (deliberately anyway)

I remember first time round thinking "why dont the words fit the tunes any more?"

As a plus point, the Tour looked a decent event, and gave rise to the wonderful live album that followed

Kardashev-Liminal Rite

Wonderful new release, for those who like things heavy and brutal but with a hint of emo and shoegaze

choose your day carefully for a wales and back, wind from the east would make the 2nd half of the journey drag

Documentary on Sky Arts about the Salvator Mundi picture/story

Absolutely fascinating and mind blowing, not even close to what I thought it was going to be, ended up being like an international thriller/Dan Brown type story (but true and based on facts!)

Highly recommend this!

I have noticed a distinct deterioration in my performance since lockdown/covid, and the heart issues attributed to the jabs

and, im nearly 51. Nothing lasts forever, but I have very much enjoyed getting out and about this year so far, rather than the grind of the turbo trainer

Think I need something to aim for, and I do also fancy a new bike, but right now that is a bad idea financially, prices have rocketed

is there any bass on Presto? assumed it had just ben recorded in treble, through a megaphone

They have, but also made the likes of defence, ball watching and building an innings secondary

So, when the ball starts moving around, we end up at 55-6

Think Im done with the PT album now, 3 r 4 listens. Good enough in parts, but no longevity

That cassette looks alarmingly dark, or is it a trick of the light?  (asking for a friend)

New Porcupine Tree.

Its growing on me now

windy wsnt it this weekend. Unpleasent ride south to hatton locks into a strong ish southerly. Journey back was easier, but knackered by then!

New Dr STrange fim

Rubbish

underwhelming

Reckon Andor could be quite good though

quick question. I know I often have strong opinions about the tech side of things, but have never given much thought to cleats, and as a result pedals.

What type of cleats do people use, im a yellow SPD type. And how often do people replace

I was strongly advised not to go for red or blue, as with a history of knee issues I need some degree of flex/rotation at the pedal interface to revent further injuries

i love 90125 and large parts of Talk

"traditional" Yes leaves me cold though
